How do people get involved, how easily are people scammed and reasons?

Many individuals think of the internet as a get rich quick scheme and once they are exposed to any form of investment promising high ROI, witjout a second taught they jump onto it, you and I as well know how this will end? In a nutshell, GREED is a factor

Probably the most important reason that I find on why people get scammed on the Internet is the lack of common sense.

If you make a quick search about how to earn money on the Internet you are going to find many websites claiming to be able to make you a millionaire in a very short amount of time, but if that was true do you really think that they would be giving that information for free or for a very small cost? When you ask yourself that question is easy to see those promises are nothing but lies.

Lacking of common sense is one thing, having no capability of determining whether such kind of promise is just imaginary or too good to be true is another thing. Most of people are already put a suspicion when they are being shoved with such promises but there's always some people that could lure them into investing anyway. Those people are taking advantage of the greedines of their victim therefore even if they got common sense they will still get tricked. I've seen too much people being tricked that way despite the many news that highlight this kind of scam they'd still think that some might be a real thing.
